As a move to commemorate International Yoga Day, the Reserve Bank of India is set to issue new Rs 10 coins. One side of the coin will have the logo of International Yoga Day whereas the other will have a Sanskrit slogan stating Yoga for reconciliation and peace.

The date on which the International Yoga Day was declared the 21st of June will also get printed on the coin, say sources from the Reserve Bank of India. According to Indian Coinage Act 2011, these new coins will be valid for use and the Rs 10 coins that are currently in use will also remain valid.
